ABOUT THE BOOK:

One month before her wedding, Athena Greydon’s fiancé ends their engagement.

With nowhere else to go, Athena moves into the unusual ten-foot-wide Spite House she impulsively purchased as a wedding gift. Unfortunately, the tiny home places her directly between two men she would rather avoid.

Her ex-fiancé lives in the house attached to hers. On the other side of a four-foot alley lives his older brother, Dr. Matthew Vine the Third—the uptight and judgmental man who convinced his younger brother to end their engagement.

If Athena must see Matthew every time she looks through her windows, she decides she might as well have a little fun. Her petty revenge includes blasting extremely spicy cryptid audiobooks, signing him up for inconvenient mailing lists, and embracing everything expected of a woman living in a genuine Spite House.

But hating Matthew becomes much harder than Athena anticipated.

He helps her move, listens when she needs someone, finds ways to support her, and reveals a gentler side hidden beneath his serious exterior. He is also becoming increasingly difficult to ignore—and inconveniently attractive.

Matthew does not regret stopping a marriage he believed would make both Athena and his brother unhappy. He does, however, regret the damage his interference has caused. As he tries to help Athena rebuild her life, his concern grows into something much deeper.

Now Matthew must decide how to admit that he wants the same woman he once convinced his younger brother to leave—and Athena must determine whether the man she planned to torment could be the one person willing to love every complicated part of her.

At First Spite is a funny, heartfelt, and steamy contemporary romance filled with petty revenge, forced proximity, emotional healing, body-positive representation, and an unexpectedly tender love story.
